*Things to think on before class!*
Please do not use a retractable leash during training. Shorter leashes make handling and Training much simpler!
Keep in mind that the first night may be fairly chaotic. This is a new experience for your dog and you. Dogs have the best senses and know when you are distressed! So please frolic in with them and keep an open mind! Expecting your dog to perform and staying positive will truly reflect on their abilities and responses during training.
If your dog is barking, fearful, super hyper etc, I will notice and immediately approach everyone with different ways of calming your dog. Please do not leave, give it a chance and believe in yourself and your dog.
